Commerce Initiates Circumvention Inquiry on Chinese Aluminum Containers Transshipped via UAE

The U.S. Department of Commerce is investigating whether disposable aluminum containers completed in the UAE using Chinese-origin aluminum foil are circumventing AD/CVD orders on Chinese aluminum containers (cases A-570-170, C-570-171). The inquiry was triggered by a petition from the Aluminum Foil Containers Manufacturers Association and eight domestic producers.
